Inventor: RIDGE JUSTIN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2006-04-12
Abstract: A system and method for providing improved FGS identification in scalable video coding. According to the present invention, each FGS enhancement layer is assigned a unique dependency identifier and contains only FGS enhancement information. For subsequent enhancement layers, the base dependency identifier will point to either a base-quality layer or an FGS enhancement layer.  Alternatively, two base dependency identifiers can be used. One identifier is used to identify the base quality layer, which does not contain FGS  information, that is used for the prediction of coding mode and motion information for a subsequent enhancement layer. The other identifier is used to identify the FGS enhancement layer, which contains only FGS information, that is used for the prediction of sample and/or residual data for a subsequent enhancement layer.

Abstract: A terminal having a stream control transmission protocol (SCTP)-based handover function and a SCTP-based handover method are provided. The terminal includes a session management unit which initiates a SCTP session for communication with a second terminal through the Internet and terminates a SCTP session established between the terminal and the second terminal for terminating communication between the terminal and the second terminal; a link layer information collection unit which receives beacon signals from a plurality of base stations connected to a router which is connected to the Internet and stores the beacon signals in a link layer state information database; a signal intensity extraction unit which, if theterminal enters an overlapping area of a first communication area managed by a first base station and a second communication area managed by a second base station while the SCTP session is established between theterminal and the second terminal, extracts the intensity of a beacon signal transmitted by the second base station from the link layer state information database; and a handover unit which, if the extracted beacon signal intensity is greater than a first critical value, adds an IP address received from the second base station to the SCTP session established between the terminal and the other terminal, and if the extracted beacon signal intensity is greater than a second critical value, requests the second terminal to communicate with the terminal using the IP address received from the second base station. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce investment in network equipment and offer an efficient handover method by adding a SCTP  stack to a mobile terminal.

Title: Reactive spray formation of coatings and powders
Inventor: MARIC RADENKA
IPC: B05B17/04
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: An apparatus and method for open-atmosphere flame based spraying employs a nozzle to preheat, pressurize and atomize a mechanically pumped reactive and flammable liquid solution through a small orifice or a nozzle and then a set of pilot flames to combust the spray. The liquid feedstock is preheated to a supercritical temperature before reaching the nozzle and is pressurized before spraying due to a reduced size of the outlet port of the feedstock flow channel relative to the inlet. A supplementary collimating, or sheathing, gas is supplied to the flow channel of the feedstock and both the feedstock and the supplementary gas are uniformly heated before spraying. This arrangement helps to avoid clogging of the nozzle and results in satisfactory control of the properties of the particulate products of the spraying procedure.
